1.For over a decade now we, Bangladesh, have been providing the most or the second most number of troops to UN Peace Missions. Our troops are popular in UN because they are smart, disciplined and professional. Our officer corps have proved themselves exceptionally bright per their record in foreign courses in varying locations like S Korea, China, Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Australia, France, Turkey, UK, USA and even Br Guyana.

2. We attach so much importance to Peace Keeping missions that we have established an Institute of UN Peace Keeping where officers from all over the world including USA come to train.
 
A lot of small nations do not get the attention which they are entitled to. Keep up the good work.
